The group was founded in 2000 by Angelo Moskov as part of Deutsche Bank's Quantitative Value Trading group. Most of the current team members had joined by 2006, and the team operated in this configuration until 2010 as the Emerging Europe Specialist Team at a large US-based multi-strategy hedge fund.
The team has developed extensive experience and relationships with companies and local analysts across its core regions of focus, supported by local language capabilities.
Team members have also worked within established institutional operating platforms, including compliance, prime brokerage, trading and settlement, and risk management frameworks.
